Subject: cvs problem after latest stable upgrade.

Hi. I just finished upgrading a FreeBSD 2.2.2 box to 2.2-stable.  Things seem
to have gone very well, but after the upgrade someone on the system found
that attempting to do cvs commits to a local repository no longer worked, 
giving the following error.

Checking in Debug/malloc.c;
cvs [commit aborted]: cannot rename file /tmp/cvsa14204 to malloc.c: Cross-device link

Any ideas as to what I should look for that's causing this, and how to fix
this?  I've gone ahead and given them back an old cvs binary so they can get
back to work, but I'd hate for things to break if we upgrade again, so I'd 
like to know if this is some odd permissions/setup thing on the local
repository that the newer cvs doesn't like, or if this is actually a bug
in cvs.  Thanks for any help y'all can provide.
